Yarmouth Greyhound Tips – Monday, 18 May 2026

Yarmouth stages a 12-race card from 18:14 onwards on Norfolk’s traditional sand surface, with four feature races across A2 to A4 grades at the standard 462m trip.

19:22 – Grade A2 462m

Swift Carlo arrives here off consecutive fifth-place finishes, though his form dip on the rails (Trap 1) is concerning: 5th by 4.25 lengths on 13 May, then 5th by 6.25 lengths on 6 May. His one bright spot came two runs back when he ran 2nd from Trap 2, suggesting he may relish a change of berth. Stonepark Spice, trained by E Samuels, has struggled at A1 level and now steps down to A2, but four recent runs show only one 2nd place, with three 4th placings across A1 and A2 company.

Golden Passion stands out sharply. She won her last outing on 9 May in A3 company by a neck from Trap 3, and her form string reads strongly: 1-3-2-3-4 across her last five runs. She has shown consistent mid-range racing and responds to crowding in stride. Trap 3 offers her a neutral platform, and at 22% win rate from that draw at Yarmouth 462m, she profiles well as the form leader in this race. Trap 4 shows the strongest recent strike rate at 27%, but Golden Passion’s recent winning form is compelling.

NAP: Golden Passion, Trap 3. Look for forecast value with Swift Carlo as a secondary option off a change of trap.

18:31 – Grade A3 462m

Westway Buzz shows three runs from Trap 1 at A3 level, with a 2nd place by three-quarters of a length on 22 April his only placing in a mixed bag. He also holds a win from A5 level (15 April, Trap 2) and earlier A1 experience, suggesting he is better suited off the rails. Keas Flyer is a 2-year-old with limited recent form at Yarmouth, last seen finishing 4th from Trap 3 on 10 May; prior Romford outings suggest inconsistency.

Carrigoon Wes, trained by K Cobbold, has recorded four consecutive 4th place finishes at A2-A3 level over the past two months. His consistency is notable but his inability to convert into placings raises questions. Swift Bachelor and Crypto Kidd are runners with no recent form available, limiting confidence.

Westway Buzz emerges as the most straightforward option, especially if he breaks from Trap 1 cleanly. His 2nd place at A3 level on 22 April was his sharpest recent effort, and while trap draw has worked against him in recent outings, his prior A5 and A1 grades suggest he is capable. NAP: Westway Buzz, Trap 1. Check SP close to race time, as his odds may reflect the trap bias concerns.

20:13 – Grade A3 462m

Razldazl Minty has contested five A3 races, running 2-3-3-2-3: a consistent performer without a win, but with two 2nd places that show competitive edge. Most recent run on 9 May saw her finish 2nd by a nose from Trap 2. Kilcash Happy, a 2-year-old, has shown 2-3-4-1-2 form from Trap 2 and Trap 3 at A3-A4 level, with a win on 25 March and recent 2nd place on 9 May, also from Trap 2. That 1-2 sequence (win on 25 March, 2nd on 9 May) suggests he is in prime form.

Harlequin Rose has mixed recent results: a 4th by 14 lengths on 11 May after winning from Trap 3 on 4 May, suggesting inconsistency. Hecrossedthesea and Cryptography are both unexposed at this grade with no recent form provided.

Kilcash Happy edges ahead, showing back-to-back places in his last two outings and a recent win from A3 company. His Trap 2 berth is neutral (18% strike rate at Yarmouth 462m), and his trajectory is upward. NAP: Kilcash Happy, Trap 2. Forecast markets offer value pairing him with Razldazl Minty, who profiles as a consistent second.

21:23 – Grade A4 462m

Harlequin Zapper has produced excellent recent form: a win on 11 May followed by a 2nd by a head on 6 May, both from A5-A6 territory, and he also holds a win on 29 April from A6 level. His form string is 1-2-1-3-5, and he is stepping down into A4 company. From Trap 1, he offers stability, though the rails carry only a 16% strike rate at this track.

Crypto Wallet, trained by E Samuels, won his last outing on 10 May from Trap 4 by a head, ahead of two 4th places at A4-A5. His form (1-4-4-4-3) is more erratic, but that recent win signals competence. Trap 4 aligns with the strongest bias data at 27% strike rate.

Clononeen Ana has bounced between sprints and the 462m trip, with mixed results; her last two 462m runs produced 4th and 5th placings. Aayamza Crypto, Swift Comrade and Kereight Sarah lack recent form records.

Harlequin Zapper is the form choice here with back-to-back places and a recent win, despite the unfavourable trap draw. He steps down into A4, which suits his profile. NAP: Harlequin Zapper, Trap 1.

Meeting Overview

Yarmouth’s card spans A2 through A4 grades, all at the standard 462m distance, with no sprint or staying races. This is a mid-week, mid-tier evening card typical of East Anglian greyound racing. Trap 4 shows a marked bias at 27% strike rate, so watch for runners breaking from wider berths.

Punters’ Note

SP prices firm in the 15 minutes before each race. Betfair and Bet365 are your best outlets for Yarmouth greyhounds, with SkyBet and William Hill also offering strong markets. Forecast (1st and 2nd in order) and reverse forecast bets are worth exploring in A3-A4 grades, where the field sizes and form spreads reward couple betting. Check trap bias when finalising selections, particularly from Trap 4 tonight.
